The Alternates

"Luna?"

"Coming." Princess Luna said as she walked towards Rainbow Dash. A portal appeared behind Luna and RD bucked Luna through, making a small mark that indicated Luna might survive if she agreed. The portal closed.

"I'm so sorry." Rainbow Dash said. She went back to her house and sat down on her bed. She began to cry.

Why? she thought.

Why did it have to be me? I shouldn’t have done that. But then again, Celestia and Luna were never needed to help keep Equestria at peace. But… Rainbow’s thoughts were cut off as she heard a knock on the door. She opened it up.

"Delivery for Rainbow Dash!” Derpy Hooves said, handing four envelopes to her.

“Thanks.” Dash said. She slammed the door in Derpy’s face and tossed the mail onto the counter. Tank looked at Dash curiously, wondering what was wrong. Rainbow Dash sat down on the couch and lay down on her side. Tank went over and nuzzled Dash. She pushed him away a bit and said,

“Thanks, Tank. But it’s not gonna help.” Tank nodded and Rainbow Dash sat up. She sighed. She accidentally hit the on power on the remote and the TV turned on. Rainbow was about to turn it back off when the news reporter said

“BREAKING NEWS! The two princesses have vanished! Princess Celestia and Luna were said to be last seen with Rainbow Dash, one of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s friends. Our investigators are still investigating. There have been no found clues so far. If anypony knows more, please contact us at-” Somepony knocked at the door. Dash walked over and opened the door.

“Waugh!” Dash yelled as she saw the police at her door.

“Ms. Dash? Do you have anything to do with the missing princesses?” the first officer asked.

“N-no sir.” she said. The officer whispered something to the officer next to him.

“May we take a look inside?” the officer asked. Rainbow nodded her head and let the two police officers in.

SHIT! I JUST REMEMBERED! Rainbow Dash had forgotten about the knife! Where had she put it?

“Hey! What’s this?” the female officer asked, holding up the knife she had used. Rainbow Dash froze.

“Nah. It’s just some ketchup.” he said. So she had washed the knife and spilled some ketchup on it but didn’t have time to clean the knife. Rainbow breathed out a sigh of relief. A few minutes later, the male officer jotted something down and handed a sheet of paper to her.

“If you know anything, please contact us.” he said. Dash took the card and nodded. The officers finally left three minutes later.

“That was close.” she said to herself. She walked over to the sink and washed the knife.

“RAINBOW DASH!” Twilight Sparkle screamed, scaring the shit out of the already unstable mare.

“HOLY SHIT!” Rainbow Dash yelled.

“Princess Celestia was found dead just now in Ponyville!” Twilight screamed.

“...” Rainbow Dash had nothing to say. She didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell them the truth and spend another ten years or more in prison (Go past the parentheses cause it's just nonsense if you want. SHADOW DASH REFERENCE. FUCK. ME. THAT FIC PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH FOR NO REASON BUT I STILL MENTION IT IN MY FUCKING BOOK CAUSE I'M FUCKING STUPID).

“Wh-wh-what?” Dash stammered.
"Come see for yourself.” Twilight said, dragging Rainbow Dash out of her house. Rainbow Dash let her drag her and Twilight had to carry Rainbow Dash down to the ground. She gagged as she caught the scent of the corpse. Dash looked at Celestia. She backed up.

"Oh god." Celestia looked horrible. She was missing an eye. Her chest had been ripped open, her ribs broken and her heart was gone. Celestia was covered from horn to hoof in gore.

"I swear I will kill whoever did this to Celestia." Twilight growled. Nopony noticed as Dash flew away to the Everfree Forest. She knew it wasn't safe. But she didn't care. She walked in, not even caring for her safety. She was suddenly thrown into a tree and carried deep into the forest by what seemed like a pegasus. She was thrown onto the floor.

"I told you not to throw her so hard, you utterly useless bitch." a familiar voice growled. Something was injected into her body and Rainbow Dash went unconscious.
